Dr Shantanu Banerji publishes in Nature

MICB Senior Scientist Dr Shantanu Banerji is first author on a Nature paper published on June 20th, 2012.
His team found that a recurrent fusion of the genes MAGI3 and AKT3 in what is known as a translocation event, was observed in tumors from a rare but aggressive form of breast cancer known as triple-negative breast cancer. Cancer-causing rearrangements of these two genes are common in blood cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia, but their discovery in breast cancer marks the first time they have been seen in a solid cancer.
